While I would love to have a forfour only meet at Ace (and I think it would be great) we would be cutting and spiting and MB wouldn't give an aeronautical .... They don't now and don't think they will.

Going in together is still a good idea. They noticed that and I think it makes a great statement.
I will post the info up on forfourowner as well.

Perhaps we can organise a September 8/9 ForFour meet somewhere else?

I'm up for this. I'll let you know what Ace say- you never know, they might have a spare weekend in September.

Just for info- I am at work on the 8th and 9th of September. I'm off work on 22nd and 23rd and 29th and 30th.

I'm also on annual leave from 11th of August until the 31st. We are away for Smart Times 12 from the 20th- 26th so won't be able to meet on these dates.

I've noticed there are no meets for just this forum.  Either S2 BBQs or other major Smart meets, but not just us lot.  Surely there are enough of us to organise something worthwhile, and to meet the people who we chat to on here.

I know a lot of you have met, but other than G I haven't met any of you, and can't often make other dates due to work and travelling distance.  I'll be at the next S2 meet whatever shift, before or after work cos it's local enough I can come along.

As I hinted in another thread, a meet around North London (not necessarily at the Ace) would be easy to arrange - maybe I'll start another thread and see what interest there is...

I've tried in vain to arrange a ForFour only meet...I have found that whichever destination you choose to meet, it will always be out of the way for someone. If people want a ForFour only meet, definitely create a thread  8)

I'm in 2 minds as to why MBW decided to set the date to October.
To them it makes not difference when it is.
But to those Smart owners that attend it could be a big mistake.
Those that brave it to the Ace Café at that time of year know how
the weather and climate can be......cold and wet....or cold n windy.
That and it is outside the School holiday time will also come into it.
I wouldn't be surprised if the oversea's contingent that attend will
be lower this year because of those factors plus having the SmartTimes
2012 event so close to an early September date.
That may be more the reason why the date was moved to October ?

Whatever the reason, I hope those that have some interaction with
MBW can push for and influence a decision to return to the more
usual date of the first week in Sept for the 2013 Smart Festival.

Well we now have the forfour back, had to say goodbye to the RX8 but happy to have the MPGs back!

I think we will definitely go to the event this year, last year was good with the forfour pre meet!

Are we meeting up at the Tesco's car park before so that we can go in a tube (or have I just imagined this fact!)
